Nada

I got nada for today.  I rode the bus to and from work and it limits my camera time as far as wandering around taking pictures.  The light is limited and pretty soon we will be on daylight savings time.  I have no excuse for not doing 30 minutes of reading, this project feels so not there....  I need to get with it!

Photoshop....Downloading...

Oh my!,... so many pictures to download,... and it does not happen quickly!  What a project with in a project...

A Donation

Today after work I went to the plasma center again,...it is draining, literally.  It wipes me out physically and all I want to do afterward is sleep.  I drove over right after work and got there at 5:30.  I got "hooked up" at 7:00 pm and was done by 8 pm.  I met with my friend Stephanie at Barnes and Nobles after I filled up my car with "blood money" and went home and went to bed....  What about photography?...."not tonight, honey...."

Finding Fall

Finding Fall

I am back on track at least for today, who knows how I will feel tomorrow.  It is a sunny day with blue skies and I decided to go for a walk with my camera at lunch time in search of Fall.  It is my favorite season, I love the colors.

I Hit a Dry Spell



A Feeling

 I don't know what is wrong with me, but I have definitley hit a dry spell.  I have not wanted to exercise at all and the population of Bootyville is growing again, and I have not taken the time to work on this photography project!!  Could it be project overload??  Fall is here and it is getting darker earlier, maybe I am affected by SADD....   I am going to post a picture with this post because this is how I feel right now...

Anyone Who Knows Me

I donated plasma today.  It has come down to this.  I would love to tell you I did it purely to save lives, but that would be a lie.  They pay you $50 to donate and that is what drew me in.  I really didn't know what they use plasma for but I was educated, and pricked, examined, fingerprinted, had a mug shot taken, and marked with a special dye that glows in the dark.  They asked lots of questions, some would make you blush and think "never!".  It was totally interesting to see what types of people donate, lets just say,... "all walks of life".  Anyone who knows me would tell you when I get a new hobby it can get quite expensive!  I am glad I am helping save a life and maybe this will turn my photography interests to taking pictures of people

Internet Reseach

I have heard other photographers say that some time should be given to studying others work that you admire and analyze what makes the picture work.  What is appealing about it, and what element did they use to make it work?  I spent two hours on the internet watching Marc Silber video clips with famous photographers.  It was facinating and I took notes.  Some of the really "Big Dogs" have a whole team of people who help set up and edit post production.  I have me, myslef, and I.   My friend Siti, sent me a link to Ken Rockwell and from his site I linked to Marc Silber and the links go on and on along with what equipment to buy =).... tomorrow I am donating plasma...
